FALMOUTH -- A 35-year-old homeless man was ordered held in lieu of $1,500 bail Monday after pleading not guilty in Falmouth District Court to stealing $100 out of a woman's car Friday night, then threatening to kill her early Saturday morning.

Andy Morales was arrested at around 3:10 a.m. Saturday after the woman called police to report that he was at her Davis Straits residence but was not wanted there, according to the arrest report. At about 9:15 p.m. Friday, Morales allegedly opened the woman's car door, reached under the seat and took $100 out of a wallet, police said.

Morales later came to the house and banged on the woman's door, with the smell of alcohol and vomit on his breath, according to the report. He told police that he lived at the residence; the woman said she occasionally allowed him to stay.

When he was advised to call someone and make arrangements for the night, Morales directed profanities and racial slurs at the woman, then insinuated that he would fight the police if he were placed in protective custody, the report says.

As he was put in handcuffs, Morales told the woman that she was "done" and threatened to kill her, police said.

Morales was charged with breaking and entering nighttime for a felony, larceny of less than $250 and intimidating a witness, according to court records. He is scheduled to return to court Aug. 29 for a pretrial hearing.
